Welcome to my project exploring interactive data visualisation in Python using Measles data from Project Tycho. The original dataset can be found on Kaggle here https://www.kaggle.com/pitt/contagious-diseases/home
Please find a conda enviroment file for all dependancies for this project. The project contains four parts:
- Exploring measles with interactive plots - this is the main project notebook
- Pandas Tutorial - a simple tutorial on Pandas that explains how I performed some of the data wrangling
- Bokeh Tutorial - an overview of some of the basic concepts of Bokeh that I used
- Dashboard application - the full bokeh python app that can be hosted locally using Bokeh Server
Dashboard application is also hosted remotely here - https://measles-bokeh.herokuapp.com/main
If you do not have Python installed locally, I recommend starting with the Anaconda distribution. This will come preloaded with a whole bunch of libraries commonly used in the Data Science world. It also comes with the Jupyter Notebook software, as well as a whole bunch of other tools.
Download Anaconda using the link below and follow the installation instructions: https://www.anaconda.com/download
I would also recommend downloading Git, ther version control software behind GitHub.
The code in this project has three main dependancies:
- Pandas (comes preloaded with Anaconda)
- Seaborn
- BokehJS
To install a package to the core enviroment of your PC, use the following command
conda install PACKAGE_NAME
For example, to install Seaborn and BokehJS, execute the following commands in the command line:
conda install seaborn
conda install bokeh
To download the code for this project, we want to navigate to my GitHub page, and download from the link here:

If you have Git installed locally and are comfortable in doing so, please clone the repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/burtonbiomedical/measles_map.git
